The government continues to cut deals with the Palestinian Authority in which Israel offers something for nothing, charged Knesset Opposition leader and Likud party chairman, MK Binyamin Netanyahu. "Instead of taking a firm stance against terror, the Kadima government and Labor continue releasing hundreds of terrorists in exchange for nothing," he declared, adding that "a Likud-led government will replace the policy of weakness for a policy of uncompromising war on terror, strength and reciprocity."

The statement came following a vote by the Cabinet to free 200 terrorists and security prisoners in another "good will gesture" to PA Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas.
